Student Athletic Trainers Society

The key to success in the Upper Iowa Athletic Training Education Program is hands-on experience, complimented by the variety and strong academic content of course work offered. All athletic training students are involved in prevention and care of injuries, record keeping, rehabilitation and conditioning of athletes, as well as fitting and maintenance of protective athletic equipment.
Athletic training students have an opportunity to work with Division II men's and women's intercollegiate sports at Upper Iowa. Starting as underclassmen, the athletic training students are placed in the athletic training clinical experiences upon acceptance into the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP). During these clinical experiences, the students will be assigned to an approved clinical instructor (ACI) at various settings, both on and off campus. Through these assignments, the students are exposed to the various aspects of organization and administration of the athletic training program while utilizing the athletic training staff as a resource. This wide range of experience enhances the total development of each athletic training student's skills.
The primary mission of the Athletic Training Education Program at Upper Iowa University is to prepare qualified students for entry-level positions in the field of athletic training through the use of formal education and clinical experiences with a devoted faculty/staff leading the way.
